Morgan Delt - s/t lp (Trouble In Mind Records)

$15.99

"Morgan cites influences from Curt Boettcher to West Coast Pop Art
Experimental Band and rounds it out with golden age sunset stip heavies
like The Byrds and Love. It ’s all in there; obsessively studied,
mastered and then mutated. Side one opens with the one/two punch of
‘Make My Grey Brain Green’ and ‘Barbarian Kings’ blasting apart 40 years
of pop-psych and stitching it back together in a way that is both
familiar but also refreshingly new. ‘Beneath the Black and Purple’ soars
with a chiming guitar grumble right out of
‘8 Miles High.’’ & “Chakra Sharks” squirms it ’s way out of the
speakerslike a snake - oiled up with the stink of not only what came
before, but what ’s happening NOW. The drums pound hard & heavy,
while the backups “la-la-la” all over your noggin like a Frankenstein
version of The Flaming Lips & Thee Oh Sees. Each track worms it ’s
way into your brain and takes hold. The finale ‘Main Title Sequence’, is
all Stu Phillips-worship, right out of the soundtrack to your favorite
60’s cult classic with it ’s angelic backing vocals and lilting tremolo
lead but somehow still buzzes with a modern current. As Morgan so keenly
described his notion on the current state of genre bending music “I
think we’ve become unstuck in time and everything is going to happen all
at once from now on.” includes a download code!" - Trouble In Mind
